Between heavy machinery and the constant traffic of vehicles moving, oil spills, or other abrasive accidents, commercial garages need a flooring system that can withstand the wear and tear these factors pose. It’s no surprise that when looking for a flooring system for a garage, epoxy flooring is almost always the go-to. But what you may not know is that there are different types of epoxy flooring and epoxy coatings that you can choose from.
Easy to clean
Safe and non-slip
Aesthetically pleasing
Durable
Customizable in color and options for decorative flakes
Low maintenance
Options for thermal shock, extreme chemical resistance, extra heavy duty, and more
While there are a variety of epoxy garage floor coatings, certain ones are better suited than others when it comes to commercial garages.
Self Dispersing Epoxy Coatings: When it comes to industrial use, if machinery is involved on your floors, then this type of epoxy floor coating is a great choice. Because it can also withstand heavy vehicle traffic, this coating is a popular choice for commercial garages. Another kind of this coating is also self dispersing epoxy with quartz sand. You can find this coating in many food processing industries as it is non-slip. Both of these coatings are very durable.
Self Leveling Epoxy Coatings: Whether your concrete floors are new or old, this type of coating is easy to install over both. A beautiful smooth surface that is both aesthetically pleasing and durable, this coating is found in a range of industries from office spaces to dining rooms, warehouses, and even garages.
Mortar Epoxy Coatings: Commercial garages would be wise to consider this coating, as it is the strongest coating out of all the options. Mortar coatings are both durable and efficient. If you’re planning to go with a different type of epoxy coating, many facilities will use mortar coating to repair cracks before doing so.
Epoxy Flake Coating: If you’re going for flare, adding in this style of coating could help your garage stand out above the others. When you choose a flake coating, epoxy garage floor installers will add in different colored flakes or chips while the coating is still wet. When the coating dries, you will be left with a beautiful, decorative finish.
Epoxy garage floor coatings are nothing to skimp on when it comes to quality and installation. You need an experienced professional to get the job done right the first time. If not, you could be left with a floor that not only looks poor, but also crumbles under the heavy equipment and daily wear and tear of traffic.
